Nice I just saw TLO straight quit a game where he was close positions. Good change. Klontas needs to go though, it's just a straight horrible map with impossible to hold thirds and expos.

One other thing on maps is there was a really interesting suggestion for Klontas Mire. This map is turning out to be really rush friendly as expected, but one downside was that it also encourages timing all in attacks. So the suggestion was to add destructible towers on the bridge area so that early game rushes are still possible, but all in attacks are delayed in the early mid game.

Weeeee!!!

I like this, but it would hurt zerg timings the most and terran timings the least.

suggestion,it would be so helpful if you guys put some sort note next to each map that lets players know that it is a CROSS-SPAWN ONLY map. it would help new players and just in most players in general, since MOST players are not regular forum/news readers.

+1 def needs to happen. Honestly, even tournament maps need to have this too.

Changes to klontas mire: Complete removal of the map and any text that ever mentions it from any blizzard website/game. Any further mention of this atrocity will cause ban.

A simple ping on the map on the possible opponent spawn locations would be perfect I think.

Well, I may be the minority, but I really enjoy Klontas Mire. I like how you guys are experimenting on smaller maps because I think it encourages a game that's more scrappy, and although the bases are close together, that also means that you can scout all-ins faster. Then, if it's a mid-game all-in you can wait for them to cross the bridge, which is extremely dangerous for them because their units get clogged up.

I feel that Klontas Mire was tossed to the curb to quickly by a lot of players which is quite disappointing because it's a map that requires experimenting and people to play on it.

I personally dislike Star Station overall, not due to the near excessive size, but due to the dominance of Reapers and lack if cross spawns only, so I think this would be a good change.

Konrad Mire, on the other hand, is my second-favourite map, and I have never used a rush tactic, in fact, removing the bridge entirely, and possibly adding in a wider one further down, makes more sense to me, as I never use the bridge as it always puts me at a disadvantage, taking into account I tend to play a MMM Terran build on 3-6 Rax, attacking at 12min, I find that moving my army through the bridge brings a lot of unnecessary slaughter, as it is the expected tactic and so people defend it strongly, although I can see it's merit in terms if scouting, small raids, and giving me wins due to my opponent's defence concentration.

On the other hand, if the bridge were to be simply removed the map may as well be unfolded and made a simple rectangle, so I can understand that that is unappealing.

As a final note, I am Bronze League, so what do I truly know? Everything I have said is from my few matches, mostly as Terran, so I cannot claim to understand the game truly, especially not from another race's viewpoint.

Blizzard, why do you not put info on the map loading screen about spawn positions?Like 'Cross positions only'. Because not everyone checks up the battle.net site, and it is critical info to gameplay, it doesn't make sense why stuff like this isn't displayed when loading the map.
